Pray this Lazaroo with earnest desire:

“…Ruth stayed close to the women of Boaz to glean until the barley and wheat harvests were finished. And she lived with her mother-in-law.”
(Ruth 2:23)

This wasn’t the life Ruth thought You were going to give her, Jesus

but trusting You, she embraced it anyway –

and oh, the reward that was finally hers!

Help me follow her example

believing with everything in me that in Your way and time

every promise You’ve made to me
will come true.

Pray this Lazaroo with pure devotion:

“When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.”
(Proverbs 3:24-26)

Such is your promise to those who drink deeply of Your wisdom, Jesus

who seek to know and understand You and Your Word

with the full passion of their inmost being.

Pray this Lazaroo in total adoration:

“All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.”
(Psalms 6:10)

Quite a promise, Jesus.

Not just a few of David’s enemies will be suddenly overwhelmed and turn back with shame and anguish.

All of them.

Just in case I have any enemies, LORD…

how can I get in on a promise like that?

Oh.

David loved and served You passionately

then wept and cried out to You.

Pray this Lazaroo in grateful adoration:

“…in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”
(Proverbs 3:6)

I do acknowledge You, Jesus.

But that’s not what the verse says.

I’m to acknowledge You in all my ways.

Only then do You promise to make my paths straight.

To acknowledge You isn’t merely to give You lip service, either.

It’s to admit that You’re the only one who knows.

It’s to confess that I can’t truly fulfill my purpose on earth

without You.

Pray this Lazaroo with sold-out surrender:

“…they will take possession of it.”
(Deuteronomy 1:39)

This was a brutally hard thing for Your people to hear, Jesus.

The thing they had worked so hard to accomplish
the land they had journeyed so long to enter

was not to be theirs.

Instead, it was their children who would enjoy it.

Their sin had robbed them of Your promise.

May that not be true of me!

But may all those who come after me

indeed possess what You have promised!

Pray this Lazaroo with burning emotion:

“Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
(Revelation 2:10)

I know Your promise is true, Jesus!

It motivates me.

But knowing that being faithful to You might lead me to be tortured to death

puts a damper on my enthusiasm.

That may not be the path You’ve chosen for me

but why not?
Countless millions of Your followers have been martyrs.

So if it is…

help me remain faithful.

Pray this Lazaroo with total transparency:

“…you surround [the righteous] with your favor as with a shield.”
(Psalms 5:12)

What a promise, Jesus! What incredible assurance!

If only I were righteous.

I don’t have to tell You: I’m a sinner.

You’re the one who’s righteous.
I’m the one who’s not.

Except…

because I put all my faith and trust and hope in You
and because You’ve forgiven every sin I’ve ever committed…

am I now standing –

not in my own righteousness –

but in Yours?

Oh, hallelujah!

Pray this Lazaroo with explosive feeling:

“…on the throne of my father David…”
(1 Kings 2:24)

Wow. For Solomon to be able to say that, Jesus…

Pretty special.
Pretty exclusive.

But about the time I start feeling like a commoner –

like an outsider looking in…

I remember Your promise:

If I stick with You all the way to the end
I will be invited to sit with You on Your throne!

I will reign with You forever!

Thank You.
That’s all the motivation I need!

Pray this Lazaroo in staunch confidence:

“…the same things those churches suffered…”
(1 Thessalonians 2:14)

Same old devil, Jesus

same beautiful Church.

Of course, when churches leave the foundation of Your Word

Satan is happy, leaves them alone –
except when he attends

…’cause he’s quite comfortable there.

But the more a church obeys You

the more the enemy of our souls attacks
because he’s scared to death.

He’s fully aware of Your promise –

that the gates of hell will not prevail against such a church.

(James 2:5)

When You make a promise, Jesus

You keep it.

Though inadequately…I do love You!

That means the kingdom You promised

is mine.

Wow.

I don’t know what it will look like.

I’m not even sure what all it means.

But this I do know about You:

Whatever glorious, awesome, mind-blowing grandeur I can imagine

You will surpass.

That should get me through these rough patches in the meantime.
